Neither Do I Condemn You

James Rochford

John 8:1-11

The Pharisees tried to put Jesus on the horns of a dilemma by dragging a woman caught in adultery before Him.  If He condemned her, He would violate Roman law, If He defends her, He breaks Old Testament Law.  Instead, He challenges the Pharisees to cast the first stone if they have no sinful involvement in this situation.

The Lord is My Shepherd

Ben Foust

Psalms 23:1-6

David refers to God as his Shepherd. This shows that God offers us guidance, protection, and care. 

The Woman Caught in Adultery

Brian Adams

John 8:1-11

How can we experience transformation from the power of sin when the Law makes us sin more?  The Law leads to condemnation and defeat whereas grace fills and frees us to pursue a different path.  Grace brings satisfaction and the power to transform.

When God Offers to Heal You, Say Yes

Brian Adams

John 5:1-24

We have ample evidence the Bible is trustworthy, so when God makes us an offer, we should say yes without hesitancy, excuses, or complaining.  The religious mentality is catastrophic to our spiritual life, whereas, living under grace is the best way to live.

Unity in a Divided World

Mike Woods

1 Corinthians 1:10-17

When God transforms and unifies people and groups so they love each other and practice grace, the results are like a beautiful symphony that is attractive to others.

Meeting The Logos

Dennis McCallum

John 1:1-17

Dennis explores what John meant by Jesus being the Logos or the Word. John states all things came into being through Jesus. This means He is, among other things, infinite, eternal and outside of His creation and not subject to its physical laws. He is the bringer of life and light to the world. When the Word became flesh, we could see His glory, grace and truth.

David a Man After God's Heart?

James Rochford

2 Samuel 23

In spite of David's grievous sins, he was still considered a man after God's heart. He knew how to talk honestly with God. He pointed people to God. He understood and accepted God's grace.

The Kindness of the King

Scott Risley

2 Samuel 9

The kindness King David showed to Jonathan's son Mephibosheth is a picture of God's grace. Just as King David searched for and called Mephibosheth and gave him abundant gifts and honor, so does God seek, call and give extravagantly to all who respond to Him.

Mephibosheth: A Lesson In God's Grace

James Rochford

2 Samuel 9

The story of Mephibosheth is a lesson in God's grace. God in His grace pursues us even though we have done nothing to deserve His gifts. We deserve death but He gives us everlasting life. His grace blows away our anticipations.
